Pope Francis has approved as a miracle an intervention of Blesseds Francisco and Jacinta Marto!! From Catholic News Agency:

Vatican City, Mar 23, 2017 / 06:44 am (CNA/EWTN News).- On Thursday Pope Francis approved the second and final miracle needed to canonize Blessed Francisco and Jacinta Marto, two of the shepherd children who witnessed the Fatima Marian apparitions.

The Pope approved the miracle in a March 23 audience with Cardinal Angelo Amato, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, during which he advanced six other causes, approving one other miracle, two causes for martyrdom and three of heroic virtue.

“These are not true apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary,” reiterated Msgr. Peric. Cardinal Mueller does not comment on these allegations, but stressed: “I know that the local Church has made this decision. In any case, we have to say that the future of the Church does not depend” either on Medjugorje or “from known shrines such as Fátima or Lourdes: they help, they can help you make more present the message of repentance to the world of today” but the faith is the one that you live in daily life “in the family, at work, in the parish.”

The Cardinal does not comment on the merits of the statement. Meanwhile, Cardinal Muller seems to lament that there is too much hype (troppeesagerazioni)on Medjugorje.
